Baby not rolling

[Twinnies23]

Hi, I've got 6 month old boy/girl twins and my DS is really active, he rolls both ways, turns on his tummy and is showing willingness to start crawling. My DD on the other hand will easily roll from her back to her tummy but then seems to get stuck and just sticks her arms out and gets distressed. I've tried teaching her to tuck her arm under and get back on her back but she doesn't seem to have picked it up. Should I be worried? It's just so easy to compare the two of them and their development. On the other hand she's much more chatty than DD and has a wider range of sounds so maybe they're just learning skills differently. Thanks for any advice!

Edit sorry *DD more chatty than DS

How are her gross motor skills otherwise? Can she push up on her hands during tummy time? Sit in a high chair without flopping, and perhaps sit on the floor leaning on her hands for balance? Support some or all of her weight standing if you hold her hands to balance her? If she's doing other gross motor skills I wouldn't worry at all about the rolling at this point (although it's not fun listening to the frustration!). Six months is quite early for crawling, or even looking close.

If she's maybe a little behind on gross motor skills, I'd keep an eye on it, but if she's very chatty, it may very well just be that that's her priority right now.

Boys and girls develop at different times so boy can roll but girl more chatty, it will switch over eventually. My friends 9mo still doesn't roll over but been told it's fine, some babies just start slowly. Doesn't sound like you got anything to worry over yet. Also just want to say, I'm in awe of parents of twins, 1 is hard enough with all that you can worry about so couldn't imagine with 2

Thank you - yes, she can do everything else you've mentioned so I'm sure she'll get the hang of it eventually. It's just not nice seeing her in distress over something her brother has been doing for weeks now! Appreciate the reassurance, thank you.

Yeah you're right, thank you! I'm sure she'll pick it up eventually. Haha thanks - I don't know any different as they're my first but it's definitely the hardest job I've ever done! Feel very blessed though 🥰
